Rain Test

Invacare has tested its power wheelchairs in accordance with ISO 7176 “Rain Test.” This provides the end user or his/her assistant sufficient time to remove his/her power wheelchair from a rain storm and retain wheelchair operation.

DO NOT leave power wheelchair in a rain storm of any kind.

DO NOT use power wheelchair in a shower or leave it in a damp bathroom while taking a shower.

DO NOT store power wheelchair in a damp area for an extended period of time.

Direct exposure to excessive rain or dampness may cause the chair to malfunction electrically and mechanically, may cause the chair to prematurely rust or may damage the upholstery.

Check to ensure that the RED and GREY battery terminal caps are secured in place, joystick boot is NOT torn or cracked where water can enter and that all electrical connections are secure at all times.

DO NOT use the wheelchair if the joystick boot is torn or cracked. If the joystick boot becomes torn or cracked, replace IMMEDIATELY.

Weight Training

Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training apparatus. Invacare wheelchairs have not been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training apparatus, Invacare shall NOT be liable for bodily injury and the warranty is void.

Weight Limitation

The P9000 XDT has a weight limitation, including seating system and accessories, of 250 lbs. Refer to Percentage of Weight Distribution on page 23. Invacare recommends that only heavy-duty wheelchairs should be used for individuals weighing more than 250 lbs. Further, the activity level of the individual wheelchair user is important. For instance, a 170 lb. active wheelchair could subject the wheelchair to more stress than a 250 lb. user. Invacare recommends that very active users consider the use of heavy-duty wheelchairs.
